"Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are."
— Chinese Proverb
I believe that getting more out of life shouldn't be a difficult task. The intention of my work is to empower others, using simple, holistic & natural wellness methods, to find Inner Peace. Why? Due to the ripple effect, together we can change the world - Inner Peace is World Peace.

Fundamental tenets of Dr. King’s philosophy of nonviolence described in his first book, Stride Toward Freedom. The six principles include:
- Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is a positive force confronting the forces of injustice, and utilizes the righteous indignation and the spiritual, emotional and intellectual capabilities of people as the vital force for change and reconciliation.
- The Beloved Community is the framework for the future. The nonviolent concept is an overall effort to achieve a reconciled world by raising the level of relationships among people to a height where justice prevails and persons attain their full human potential.
- Attack forces of evil, not persons doing evil. The nonviolent approach helps one analyze the fundamental conditions, policies and practices of the conflict rather than reacting to one’s opponents or their personalities.
- Accept suffering without retaliation for the sake of the cause to achieve the goal. Self-chosen suffering is redemptive and helps the movement grow in a spiritual as well as a humanitarian dimension. The moral authority of voluntary suffering for a goal communicates the concern to one’s own friends and community as well as to the opponent.
- Avoid internal violence of the spirit as well as external physical violence. The nonviolent attitude permeates all aspects of the campaign. It provides mirror type reflection of the reality of the condition to one’s opponent and the community at large. Specific activities must be designed to help maintain a high level of spirit and morale during a nonviolent campaign.
- The universe is on the side of justice. Truth is universal and human society and each human being is oriented to the just sense of order of the universe. The fundamental values in all of the world’s great religious include the concept that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. For the nonviolent practitioner, nonviolence introduces a new moral context in which nonviolence is both the means and the end.

The King Philosophy
TRIPLE EVILS
The Triple Evils of POVERTY, RACISM and MILITARISM are forms of violence that exist in a vicious cycle. They are interrelated, all-inclusive, and stand as barriers to our living in the Beloved Community. When we work to remedy one evil, we affect all evils. To work against the Triple Evils, you must develop a nonviolent frame of mind as described in the “Six Principles of Nonviolence” and use the Kingian model for social action outlined in the “Six Steps for Nonviolent Social Change.”
Some contemporary examples of the Triple Evils are listed next to each item:
Poverty – unemployment, homelessness, hunger, malnutrition, illiteracy, infant mortality, slums…
“There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we now have the resources to get rid of it. The time has come for an all-out world war against poverty … The well off and the secure have too often become indifferent and oblivious to the poverty and deprivation in their midst. Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation. No individual or nation can be great if it does not have a concern for ‘the least of these.”
Racism – prejudice, apartheid, ethnic conflict, anti-Semitism, sexism, colonialism, homophobia, ageism, discrimination against disabled groups, stereotypes…
“Racism is a philosophy based on a contempt for life. It is the arrogant assertion that one race is the center of value and object of devotion, before which other races must kneel in submission. It is the absurd dogma that one race is responsible for all the progress of history and alone can assure the progress of the future. Racism is total estrangement. It separates not only bodies, but minds and spirits. Inevitably it descends to inflicting spiritual and physical homicide upon the out-group.”
Militarism – war, imperialism, domestic violence, rape, terrorism, human trafficking, media violence, drugs, child abuse, violent crime…
“A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war- ‘This way of settling differences is not just.’ This way of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

"Another fresh new year is here… Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give!. This bright new year is given me. To live each day with zest… To daily grow and try to be. My highest and my best!. I have the opportunity. Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!."

Inner Peace is World Peace
It has been said by many of the significant teachers in our history that all great & long-lasting change occurs within. In other words, you must be that change internally before it will manifest externally. Dr. Jay has found that the surest & simplest way to create positive change in our lives is to make sure that the most important lifeline, your spinal cord, is functioning at its potential.
Excess stress distorts the flow of Life through your spinal cord. Distort the flow of Life through your cord and you distort the expression of health in your body, mind & spirit.
Here are a few early signs that the most important Life line of them all, your spinal cord, is being compromised:
- Brain fog & difficulty concentrating
- Feelings of overwhelm
- Low energy or feelings of fatigue & exhaustion
- Racing mind
- Irritability, frustration & loss of patience over “little things”
- Physical tension, aches or pain
- Difficulty going with the flow
- Anxiety & excess worry
- Digestive issues (irritability, discomfort, not having daily bowel movements or bloating)
- Depression or feelings of not belonging - Fish out of water sensation
If you have any of the above, you are defiantly not getting the most out of your life. When ignored, these signs of excess stress can become dangerous, long term health & wellness issues.
The Intention Wellness Center will show you the way!
Join us this year & let Dr. Jay, Karola & Danielle help you to be that change that you wish to see in your world. As you heal on the inside & learn to adapt more effectively to everything on the outside, you will see positive changes ripple into everything you think, say or do.
Here are a few ways that you can join us to create awesome changes for yourself & the world in 2012:
- Keep your regular appointments. At a cost of less than $1.75 a day for most, this is the easiest way to make sure that Life energy is flowing freely through your spinal cord & into every aspect of your body, mind & spirit. (Remember: Dr. Jay’s healing sessions can be performed at a distance)
- Continue to Follow us. Do-it-yourself life enhancement. Be inspired by the quotes, join the conversation & practice the holistic wellness tips that we post daily. Follow us on Facebook or on our Tumblr blog at drjayweber.com
